UESP Options

Hi, everyone!

I'm new to Chorrol but people have told me it's not nice to clog existing threads with off-topic discussions. So I'm starting one of my own threads now.

It's thanks to UESP.net that I discovered this site, through the announcement that was published there about the fan fiction competition. I've seen a big difference between UESP and Chorrol - where on UESP the stuff that gets put online there is the product of a lot of consensus, here on Chorrol there are many discussions and voices and sometimes they don't always agree. This is very disorienting. So, I was curious how much do Chorrol people get involved with UESP?

If they wanted an answer to a question, for instance suppose they wanted to know if there were bulls in the land of Cyrodiil, would UESP be the place they would turn to?

Well, of course you have to take into account that this is a very different place then the UESP. Chorrol is a simply fansite/forum, but UESP is dedicated to knowledge about the Elder Scrolls series. For as long as I can remember their site is mostly devoted to answers to questions, concerning quests and whatnot. It can't really be compared to Chorrol in that way.

In fact, if you'd wanted to compare this forum to any part of the UESP, you'd have to compare it simply to the forums of the UESP. Both are similar, but comparing the Wiki part of the UESP to Chorrol isn't really a good comparison.

Now, if you're interested in knowledge about the Elder Scrolls universe, I can advice this site;
http://www.imperial-library.info/

It's entirely dedicated to the lore, and thus the world and everything that lies behind it and in it.

As to your poll, I haven't participated in the creation of articles on UESP, but I have been using it as a source of reference since I entered the community back in 04, back when the UESP wasn't a wiki yet.
